Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine.
- As an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine, there are those having a primary coil and a secondary coil magnetically coupled to each other, a high voltage connection terminal connected to the secondary coil, and a conduction terminal. The conduction terminal is in contact with the high voltage connection terminal and transmits a high voltage generated in the secondary coil to a spark plug. The primary coil and the secondary coil together with the high voltage connection terminal are accommodated in a case in a state of being sealed by a filling resin. In such an ignition coil, in order to make electrical conduction from the ignition coil to the spark plug, a reliable contact between the high voltage connection terminal and the conduction terminal is required.
- Therefore, when manufacturing the ignition coil, in a state before filling the filling resin in the case, the high voltage connection terminal and the conduction terminal are brought into contact with each other, and are brought in a state where the high voltage connection terminal is urged toward the conduction terminal. Thereafter, the filling resin is filled from an opening of the case, and hardened. Thereby, it is possible to obtain the ignition coil in which the high voltage connection terminal is fixed in a state of being in contact with the conduction terminal.
- Then, Patent Document 1 discloses that in order to further secure a contact between a high voltage connection terminal and a conduction terminal, two points of the high voltage connection terminal are contacted with a surface on a proximal end side (a surface on a primary coil and a secondary coil side) of the conduction terminal.
- However, in recent years, an amount of heat generated by an ignition coil has increased as the ignition coil is requested to have a higher output, and a temperature change of the ignition coil tends to increase. Further, in recent years, a down-sizing of the ignition coil is required, but even with this, the change in the temperature of the ignition coil tends to be remarkable.
- If the change in the temperature of the ignition coil becomes large, the filling resin may be displaced in a direction away from the case due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient between the case and the filling resin. At this time, the high voltage connection terminal is constrained by the filling resin in a hardened state. For this reason, it is conceivable that the high voltage connection terminal displaces in a direction away from the conduction terminal fixed to the case along with the displacement of the filling resin away from the case. As a result, there is a possibility that contact failure between the high voltage connection terminal and the conduction terminal may be caused.
- The present invention has been made in light of the problems set forth above and has as its object to provide an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine with high connection reliability between a high voltage connection terminal and a conduction terminal.
- In one aspect of the present invention, an ignition coil for internal combustion engine includes a primary coil and a secondary coil magnetically coupled to each other, a case for accommodating the primary coil and the secondary coil, a high voltage connection terminal connected to the secondary coil, and a conduction terminal that is in contact with the high voltage connection terminal and transmits a high voltage generated in the secondary coil to a spark plug. The high voltage connection terminal together with the primary coil and the secondary coil are accommodated in the case in a state of being sealed with a filling resin. The high voltage connection terminal is disposed in a state inclined to an aligned direction of the secondary coil and the conduction terminal. The high voltage connection terminal is configured to be elastically deformable. The conduction terminal includes an engaging part for engaging a terminal distal end portion of the high voltage connection terminal and a supporting part for supporting a terminal intermediate portion of the high voltage connection terminal which is a portion closer to a connecting portion with the secondary coil than the terminal distal end portion is. In the aligned direction, the terminal distal end portion contacts the engaging part from a side opposite to a secondary coil side, and the terminal intermediate portion contacts the supporting part from the secondary coil side.
- In the ignition coil for the internal combustion engine, the conduction terminal has the engaging part and the supporting part. In the above-described aligned direction, the terminal distal end portion is in contact with the engaging part from the side opposite to the secondary coil side, and the terminal intermediate portion is in contact with the supporting part from the secondary coil side. Therefore, when a large temperature change occurs and the high voltage connection terminal constrained by the hardened filling resin is displaced to the secondary coil side the conduction terminal, the terminal distal end portion of the high voltage connection terminal are brought into contact with the engaging part more strongly. On the other hand, when the high voltage connection terminal constrained by the hardened filling resin is displaced to the side opposite to the secondary coil side the conduction terminal, the terminal intermediate portion of the high voltage connection terminal comes into contact with the supporting part more strongly.
- In this manner, even if the high voltage connection terminal is displaced in any direction in the aligned direction, at least one of the terminal distal end portion and the terminal intermediate portion is maintained in contact with the conduction terminal. Thereby, the connection reliability between the high voltage connection terminal and the conduction terminal can be improved.
- As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine having high connection reliability between a high voltage connection terminal and a conduction terminal.

- An embodiment of an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine will be described with reference to
FIGS. 1 to 7 . - As shown in
FIG. 1 , an ignition coil 1 for an internal combustion engine of the present embodiment includes aprimary coil 11 and asecondary coil 12 magnetically coupled to each other, acase 2 for accommodating theprimary coil 11 and thesecondary coil 12, a highvoltage connection terminal 3 connected to thesecondary coil 12, and aconduction terminal 4. Theconduction terminal 4 is in contact with the highvoltage connection terminal 3 and transmits a high voltage generated in thesecondary coil 12 to a spark plug (not shown). - The high
voltage connection terminal 3 is accommodated in thecase 2 in a state of being sealed with afilling resin 10 together with theprimary coil 11 and thesecondary coil 12. The highvoltage connection terminal 3 is disposed in a state inclined an aligned direction Z of thesecondary coil 12 and theconduction terminal 4. Further, the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is configured to be elastically deformable. It should be noted that in the following description, the aligned direction Z of thesecondary coil 12 and theconduction terminal 4 is referred to simply as “an aligned direction Z” as appropriate. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 3 , theconduction terminal 4 includes anengaging part 41 for engaging a terminaldistal end portion 31 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3, and a supportingpart 42 for supporting a terminalintermediate portion 32 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3. Note that the terminalintermediate portion 32 is a portion which is disposed closer to the connectingportion 30 with thesecondary coil 12 than the terminaldistal end portion 31 is. In the aligned direction Z, the terminaldistal end portion 31 is in contact with theengaging part 41 from a side opposite to a side of thesecondary coil 12. Further, the terminalintermediate portion 32 is in contact with the supportingpart 42 from thesecondary coil 12 side. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , theprimary coil 11 and thesecondary coil 12 are concentrically disposed and are overlapped on inner and outer circumferences. Theprimary coil 11 is wound around aprimary bobbin 110, and thesecondary coil 12 is wound around asecondary bobbin 120 disposed on an outer peripheral side of theprimary coil 11, thereby being formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. One end of thesecondary coil 12 is connected to theprimary coil 11 or a GND terminal (not shown) as a low voltage side. In addition, another end of thesecondary coil 12 is connected to the connectingportion 30 of the highvoltage connecting terminal 3 as a high voltage side. - Note that in the following description, a winding axis direction of the
secondary coil 12 is defined as “an axial direction X”. Further, a connectingportion 30 side of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 in the axial direction X is defined as rearward, and an opposite side thereof is defined as frontward. Furthermore, a direction orthogonal to both the axial direction X and the aligned direction Z is defined as “a lateral direction Y”. - The high
voltage connection terminal 3 is formed by bending an elastically deformable metal wire material having a circular cross section. In the highvoltage connection terminal 3, the connectingportion 30, which is one end portion, is supported by thesecondary bobbin 120, and the terminaldistal end portion 31, which is another end portion, and the terminalintermediate portion 32 are in contact with theconduction terminal 4. As shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 , the highvoltage connection terminal 3 extends from the connectingportion 30 toward the distal end side and is formed so as to extend obliquely forward at abent portion 33. That is, a portion between thebent portion 33 and the terminaldistal end portion 31 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is inclined so as to head forward in the axial direction X as it goes to the distal end side in the aligned direction Z. - When assembling the ignition coil 1, the terminal
distal end portion 31 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is pressed toward the proximal end side to the engagingpart 41, and the terminalintermediate portion 32 is pressed toward the distal end side of the supportingpart 42 so as to be elastically deformed. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 3 , the highvoltage connection terminal 3 has an elastic expansion-contraction structure 34 that enables elastic expansion and contraction in a longitudinal direction of the highvoltage connection terminal 3. The elastic expansion-contraction structure 34 of the present embodiment has a serpentine shape formed by alternately bending toward both sides in the lateral direction Y. The elastic expansion-contraction structure 34 is formed between thebent portion 33 and the terminalintermediate portion 32 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , theconduction terminal 4 has atubular base portion 40. Further, theconduction terminal 4 forms the engagingpart 41 and the supportingpart 42 on the proximal end side of thebase portion 40. In the present embodiment, thebase portion 40 has a cylindrical shape. An annularinward portion 43 bent inward from the entire periphery of a proximal end portion is formed at the proximal end portion of thebase portion 40. Then, a part of the annularinward portion 43 becomes theengaging part 41, and another part of the annularinward portion 43 becomes the supportingpart 42. - A shape of the annular
inward portion 43 viewed from the aligned direction Z is annular. The annularinward portion 43 is bent inward from the proximal end portion of thebase portion 40 while bulging toward the proximal end side. That is, a surface on the proximal end side of the annularinward portion 43 is a convex curved surface. In the annularinward portion 43, a portion where the terminaldistal end portion 31 abuts from the distal end side is theengaging part 41, and a portion where the terminalintermediate portion 32 abuts from the proximal end side is the supportingpart 42. The engagingpart 41 is positioned on a front side in the annularinward portion 43 and the supportingpart 42 is positioned on a rear side in the annularinward portion 43. Further, the distal end portion of thebase portion 40 is closed by aconduction bottom portion 44. - A proximal end side surface of the terminal
distal end portion 31 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is in contact with a distal end side surface of theengaging part 41 of theconduction terminal 4, and a distal end side surface of the terminalintermediate portion 32 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is in contact with a proximal end side surface of the supportingpart 42 of theconduction terminal 4. That is, theconduction terminal 4, the terminaldistal end portion 31 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is brought into contact with the engagingpart 41 from the distal end side and the terminalintermediate portion 32 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is brought into contact with the supportingpart 42 from the proximal end side, and contacting surfaces of theconduction terminal 4 with the highvoltage connection terminal 3 are on the opposite side in the aligned direction Z in the engagingpart 41 and the supportingpart 42. Then, when assembling the ignition coil 1, the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is sealed with a resin by the fillingresin 10, as shown inFIG. 1 , in a state where the terminaldistal end portion 31 is being urged to the engagingpart 41 of theconduction terminal 4 disposed on the proximal end side thereof, and the terminalintermediate portion 32 is being urged to the supportingpart 42 of theconduction terminal 4 disposed on the distal end side thereof. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , acentral core 13 is disposed in an inner circumferential side of theprimary bobbin 110 such that a longitudinal direction thereof is the axial direction X. Further, an outerperipheral core 14 is disposed so as to surround outer circumferences of theprimary coil 11 and thesecondary coil 12 from the axial direction X and the lateral direction Y. The outerperipheral core 14 is a substantially rectangular frame that opens in the aligned direction Z. - The
case 2 surrounds peripheries of theprimary coil 11 and thesecondary coil 12, thecenter core 13, and the outerperipheral core 14 from a direction orthogonal to the aligned direction Z, and includes aside wall portion 21 that opens to the proximal end side, and abottom wall portion 22 that closes the distal end side of theside wall portion 21. Theside wall portion 21 has an engaging steppedportion 211 for engaging the outerperipheral core 14. Atower portion 221 to which theconduction terminal 4 is press-fitted inwardly is formed on thebottom wall portion 22 so as to protrude toward the distal end side. A high voltage conductor (not shown) is disposed in thetower portion 221 so as to be in contact with a distal end of theconduction terminal 4, thereby electrically connected to the spark plug. - Next, an example of a method of assembling the ignition coil 1 for the internal combustion engine of the present embodiment will be described.
- As shown in
FIG. 4 , acoil assembly 5 is formed by assembling thecentral core 13, theprimary coil 11, and thesecondary coil 12. Theconduction terminal 4 is disposed in thecase 2 by press-fitting it inside thetower portion 221 in a direction where the annularinward section 43 is positioned on the proximal end side. Further, the outerperipheral core 14 is disposed by being engaged with the engaging steppedportion 211 of theside wall portion 21 of thecase 2. - Then, the
coil assembly 5 is inserted into thecase 2 from an opening direction toward the distal end side. At this time, as shown inFIG. 4 , thecoil assembly 5 is inserted into thecase 2 while thecentral core 13 is made to follow the inner peripheral surface of the outerperipheral core 14. - Here, in a state before the high
voltage connection terminal 3 abuts the conduction terminal (in a state ofFIG. 5 ), a tip of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is positioned inside theconduction terminal 4 when viewed from the aligned direction Z. From this state, by further inserting thecoil assembly 5 to the distal end side, a part of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 and a part of the annular inward part 43 (the supporting part 42) of theconduction terminal 4 contact with each other as shown inFIG. 6 . - Then, as shown in
FIG. 7 , by further inserting thecoil assembly 5 to the distal end side, while the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is elastically deformed so that an inclination angle the axial direction X gradually decreases, the highvoltage connection terminal 3 slides on the annular inward portion 43 (the supporting part 42) of theconduction terminal 4. At this time, since a surface on the proximal end side of the annularinward portion 43 is a curved surface, the highvoltage connection terminal 3 can slide smoothly on the annularinward portion 43. Along with this, the terminaldistal end portion 31 moves to the front side in the axial direction X and to the proximal end side in the aligned direction Z. Then, as shown inFIG. 7 , the terminaldistal end portion 31 is disposed at a position adjacent to the distal end side of theengaging part 41 of theconduction terminal 4. - When the
coil assembly 5 is further inserted to the distal end side, the highvoltage connection terminal 3 is further elastically deformed, the terminaldistal end portion 31 moves to the proximal end side and is inserted into the distal end side of theengaging part 41 of theconduction terminal 4. Then, as shown inFIG. 2 , the surface on the proximal end side of the terminaldistal end portion 31 comes into contact with the distal end side surface of theengaging part 41 of theconduction terminal 4. By further inserting thecoil assembly 5 to the distal end side, the terminalintermediate portion 32 is in a state of being urged toward the supportingpart 42 of the annularinward portion 43, and the terminaldistal end portion 31 is in a state of being urged toward the engagingpart 41 of the annularinward portion 43. - In this state, the filling
resin 10 is poured into thecase 2 and is hardened to seal thecoil assembly 5. Thereby, the ignition coil 1 for the internal combustion engine of the present embodiment can be obtained. - Next, functions and effects of the present embodiment will be described.
- In the ignition coil 1 for the internal combustion engine, the
conduction terminal 4 has the engagingpart 41 and the supportingpart 42. Then, in the aligned direction Z, the terminaldistal end portion 31 contacts the engagingpart 41 from the side opposite to thesecondary coil 12 side, and the terminalintermediate portion 32 contacts the supportingpart 42 from thesecondary coil 12 side. Therefore, it is possible to improve connection reliability between the highvoltage connection terminal 3 and theconduction terminal 4. - Further, the high
voltage connection terminal 3 has an elastic expansion-contraction structure 34. Therefore, the terminaldistal end portion 31 can be reliably engaged with the engagingpart 41. That is, the length of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 in the natural length is set long. Then, when bringing the highvoltage connection terminal 3 into contact with theconduction terminal 4, the inclination angle of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 the axial direction X is reduced while the terminaldistal end portion 31 is brought into contact with thebase body portion 40. Thereby, the terminaldistal end portion 31 can be reliably engaged with the engagingpart 41. - In addition, the
conduction terminal 4 has thetubular base portion 40. Further, theconduction terminal 4 forms the engagingpart 41 and the supportingpart 42 on the proximal end side of thebase portion 40. Therefore, it is possible to construct the ignition coil 1 which is easy to assemble the highvoltage connection terminal 3 to theconduction terminal 4. - Further, the annular
inward portion 43 bent inward from the entire periphery of the proximal end portion is formed at the proximal end portion of thebase portion 40. The part of the annularinward portion 43 becomes theengaging part 41, and the other portion of the annular 3 oinward portion 43 becomes the supportingpart 42. Thus, since arbitrary two positions in the annularinward portion 43 can be used as the engagingpart 41 and the supportingpart 42, theconduction terminal 4 can be easily formed, and the highvoltage connection terminal 3 can be assembled easily to theconduction terminal 4. - As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine having high connection reliability between the high
voltage connection terminal 3 and theconduction terminal 4. - In the present embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 8 and 9 , a shape of aconduction terminal 4 is changed that of the first embodiment. - In the present embodiment, an engaging
part 41 is formed by a folded-back portion 410 that once protrudes outward from abase portion 40 and then is folded back inward. A supportingpart 42 is formed by an outwardinclined portion 420 which is inclined so as to expand outward from thebase portion 40 toward the proximal end side. Note that another outwardinclined portion 430 which is inclined so as to expand outward toward the proximal end side in the lateral direction Y also is formed on the proximal end side of thebase portion 40. Inclination angles the axial direction X of the outward inclined portions 420 s 430 are substantially equal to an inclination angle of a highvoltage connecting terminal 3 the axial direction X. - The rest of the configuration is the same as in the first embodiment. It should be noted that among the reference numerals used in the present embodiment or the drawings relating to the present embodiment that are the same reference numerals as used in the first embodiment represent the same constituent elements and the like as in the first embodiment unless otherwise indicated.
- In a case of the present embodiment, since the inclination angles of the supporting
part 42 and the terminalintermediate portion 32 of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 the axial direction X are equal to each other, the highvoltage connection terminal 3 can be smoothly slid on the supportingpart 42 of theconduction terminal 4. - Even in the present embodiment, it has the same functions and effects as the first embodiment.
- In the present embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 10 and 11 , a shape of aconduction terminal 4 is changed that of the first embodiment as well. - In the present embodiment, a
base portion 40 of aconduction terminal 4 is composed of a basecylindrical portion 401 having a cylindrical shape and a base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 having a substantially rectangular cylindrical shape formed on the proximal end side of the basecylindrical portion 401. The basecylindrical portion 401 and the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 are concentrically disposed. The base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 has four sides, and when viewed from the aligned direction Z, two opposing sides are formed in parallel with the axial direction X, and two other opposing sides are formed in parallel with the horizontal direction Y. The basecylindrical portion 401 is positioned inside the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 when viewed from the aligned direction Z. - An
engaging part 41 and a supportingpart 42 are formed at the proximal end portion of the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402. The engagingpart 41 is formed by a folded-back portion 451 that once protrudes outward from the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 and then is folded back inward. The supportingpart 42 is formed by an outwardinclined portion 452 which is inclined so as to expand outward from the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 toward the proximal end side. Note that outerinclined portions 453 are formed on two sides in the lateral direction Y of the proximal end portion of the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 so as to go further outward toward the proximal end side as well. - The
tower portion 221 of thecase 2 is provided with a rectangular disposition section (not shown) in which the baserectangular tube section 402 is disposed. By fitting thebase cylinder portion 401 to thetower portion 221 so that the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 is disposed in the rectangular disposition section, the base rectangularcylindrical portion 402 can be prevented from rotating around thecase 2. - The rest of the configuration is the same as in the second embodiment. It should be noted that among the reference numerals used in the present embodiment or the drawings relating to the present embodiment that are the same reference numerals as used in the second embodiment represent the same constituent elements and the like as in the second embodiment unless otherwise indicated.
- In the present embodiment, since the base rectangular
tubular portion 402 prevents the highvoltage connection terminal 3 from rotating when assembling the ignition coil 1, the manufacture of the ignition coil 1 can be facilitated. - In addition, it has the same functions and effects as the second embodiment.
- Although the base rectangular
cylindrical portion 402 has a quarter-rotational symmetric shape when viewed from the aligned direction Z in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent assembly errors from happening such that an assembling direction of theconduction terminal 4 is wrong by making the shape different from such a rotational symmetric shape (make one corner different in shape from other corners, for example). - Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned first to third embodiments, and various modes can be adopted. For example, the elastic expansion-contraction structure of the high
voltage connection terminal 3 may be acoil spring 341 of which axis is a longitudinal direction of the highvoltage connection terminal 3 as shown inFIG. 12 . -
